Tom Russell - Love Abides lyrics

Look how far we've come Do we know who we are? Stranded on a mountaintop Trying to catch a falling star Here's to what we've left behind us Here's to what we keep inside May the road that lies before us Lead to a place where love abides I went walking with my darling Through the early morning frost Saw three crosses on the roadside Where three young souls were lost She says, "They're flying with the angels Jesus took 'em for a ride High above the Rio Grande They found a place where love abides" You might cross your burning deserts You might walk your path alone And a sudden storm may blind you Shake your spirit to the bone Seeking shelter for a weary heart A place to rest, a place to hide Then somewhere down your troubled road You find a place where love abides Our people came across the water With their fearful untamed hearts Standing on a foreign shoreline They prayed for a brand new start Then hand in hand across the mountains And the raging rivers wide They reached the distant ocean Or found a place where love abides
